We propose a precise rolling angle measurement for a collimator to extend its application in 3D angular deformation measurement, with performance significantly superior to that of the traditional 2D technique. The rolling angle measurement is realized by taking full advantage of the point array image, which is projected in terms of the collimated beam. The measurement error is estimated according to the proposed algorithm. The characteristics of the point array are analyzed to optimize the point array for precise measurement, including the point distribution, the point array resolution, and the point array area. Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that subarcsecond precision rolling angle measurement is achieved by our method, which is superior to those attained by other proposed targets.

The ferret model is widely used to study influenza A viruses (IAVs) isolated from multiple avian and mammalian species, as IAVs typically replicate in the respiratory tract of ferrets without the need for prior host adaptation. During standard IAV risk assessments, tissues are routinely collected from ferrets at a fixed time point post-inoculation to assess the capacity for systemic spread. Here, we describe a data set of virus titers in tissues collected from both respiratory tract and extrapulmonary sites 3 days post-inoculation from over 300 ferrets inoculated with more than 100 unique IAVs (inclusive of H1, H2, H3, H5, H7, and H9 IAV subtypes, both mammalian and zoonotic origin).

infection is a frequent cause of sepsis in humans, a disease associated with high mortality and without specific intervention. Clumping factor A (ClfA) displayed on the bacterial surface plays a key role in promoting replication during invasive disease. Decades of research have pointed to a wide array of ligands engaged by ClfA.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects one in ten Americans. As one of the largest payers of AUD treatment in the United States, Medicaid managed care plays a key role in facilitating access to AUD treatment services and medications. However, little is known about how AUD coverage in Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) affects treatment receipt.

Background: Evidence remains inadequate regarding the benefits of incentive programs promoting healthy activities, particularly among older adults. This longitudinal study examined the associations of participation in the points-based health incentive program with an array of subsequent health and well-being outcomes, including ones the program did not explicitly incentivize, among older adults in Japan.
Participants And Setting: We used three-wave data (2020, 2021, and 2022) from Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (n = 2504), a cohort study of functionally independent individuals aged ≥ 65 years.

In live specimens of the nemertodermatidan Flagellophora apelti Faubel and Dörjes, 1978, a peculiar organ looking like a fascicle of bristles-and so called a broom organ by its discoverer-occupies the front third or so of the body. The animal can extrude the organ to splay the bristles in a fan-like array, each bristle having an adhesive tip. Described first by light histology as a bundle of flagella, this organ can be seen by transmission electron microscopy to be actually a bundle of exceedingly long necks of glands.
